Where would you like to see the big name FAs end up?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

From a purely basketball prospective (i.e. don't just name your team for every player).

LeBron
Carmelo
Wade
Bosh
Stephenson
Parsons
Lowry
Pierce
Deng
Pau
Z-Bo
Gortat
Isaiah
Ariza
Marion
Carter
Meeks

Note: I didn't list players that are obviously staying put like Dirk/Duncan or restricted guys who aren't realistically gonna leave.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Some interesting ones:

LeBron - Clippers - Talk about lob city!

Carmelo - Bulls - Hopefully Rose gets healthy and we get a Durant/Westbrook East version

Wade - Miami - Would be weird seeing him anywhere else

Bosh - Houston - Good fit next to dwight.

Stephenson - Knicks - He just feels like a Knicks player

Lowry - Pacers - They need a legit PG if they're gonna contend

Pierce - Boston - would like to see him return to Boston and end his career a Celtic

Pau - Spurs/Knicks - Spurs because he's such a great passer that it would be beautiful to watch. Knicks to reunite with Phil/D-fish and play in the triangle.

Carter - Toronto - Raps are in need of a SF or at least a bigger wing after what we saw with Joe Johnson.

Meeks - OKC- They need a player like him. A knock down shooter.

On the Lakers.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

LeBron to the Lakers - The crossing over and bitching between Kobe and LeBron fans would be stuff of legend.

Carmelo to the Bulls - I think it's a perfect fit.

Wade stays in Miami.

Bosh to the Suns- Bosh can be Toronto Bosh there and they would be quite easily a playoff team.

Stephenson to the Knicks - Give me a JR and Lance lineup.

Parsons stays in Houston.

Lowry to the Pistons - He reminds me of a Pistons guard for some reason. He fits well in SVG's system, too.

Pierce retires.

Deng to Utah - Just cause.

Pau to the Spurs - Pau is essentially the ideal Pop big man. More so than anyone in the NBA, maybe even over Duncan. People say he lost a step, well enter the Spurs system. He would probably look like Lakers Pau.

Z-Bo to the Kings - Something about a Randolph-Cousins post makes me pants happy.

Gortat stays in Washington.

Isaiah to the Knicks - Thomas-Lance-JR lineup. Yes, please.

Ariza to the Clippers - Obvious fit is obvious.

Marion stays in Dallas.

Carter to the Raptors - Retire afterwards.

Meeks to the Thunder - He's basically what their fans want from Thabo and Lamb.

If you're not listing Dirk and Duncan, why are you listing Wade and Bosh? They have player options, and neither one of those guys will get anything even remotely close to current deals from another team. Would be a bad financial decision to leave for money. If they leave, it's to win... but they probably still believe they can do it together. Anyway...

LeBron - Lakers. Kobe and Lebron fans together? Epic.
Carmelo - Bulls or Cavs.
Wade - Since we're doing what I "want", I say retire. For an actual team.. Heat.
Bosh - Bucks. They always try to win, and I respect that. Would like to see them get a legit star.
Stephenson - Bulls. But since I already sent Melo there.... Denver.
Parsons - Wizards or Cavs.
Lowry - Knicks, but that's not at all realistic from a salary perspective. Lakers.
Pierce - Boston
Deng - Pistons. Deng would be a good-ish fit alongside Drummond and Smith
Pau - Toronto. Val, Pau, Derozan, Ross, Vasquez? Not great, but interesting.
Z-Bo - Memphis. They are so close.
Gortat - Washington, but after Parsons signs.
Isaiah - Sacramento. City deserves a good team.
Ariza - Lakers (what I think. He's not good enough to care too much)
Marion - Dallas. One impact player away from being really scary.
Carter - Dallas or retire.
Meeks - Lakers (see Ariza)

[Dagouch]

Melo If he doesn't stay with the Knicks, then I don't mind the Bulls.
Lebron. Go back to Cleveland man.
Wade. Retire
Bosh. He'll stay with the Heat, I would like to see him with the Mavs.

[Kukoc]

LeBron - Cavs

Carmelo - Bulls

Stephenson - Pacers
